Day 02 - Your Favorite Classic Series Episode
This question didn't quite make my brain explode the way Zoe exploded the computer in "The Invasion," but it was a near-run thing. Assuming "episode" means "story," how can I possibly choose between treasures like "The Mind Robber" (Borgesian meta-hijinks!), "The War Games" (the Time Lords! that Bad Thing the Time Lords Did!), "Spearhead From Space" (the Doctor taking a shower cuddling his shoes!), "The Time Monster" (the Master and Atlantis and TARDISes having dimensionally transcendental sex materializing inside each other and wacky inventions and FEMINISM), "Pyramids of Mars" (Sarah Jane Smith's finest hour), "Castrovalva" (Five unravelling Four's scarf!), "Earthshock" (*sniffle*), "The Five Doctors" (100% pure fanservice!), "Frontios" (Turlough angst!), "Resurrection of the Daleks" (Tegan angst!), and "Planet of Fire" (more Turlough angst, except this time with lots more skin showing!)?
. . . oh, all right, "The Mind Robber" it is. Still probably the weirdest, smartest, most adventurous storytelling every seen on Doctor Who. Sometimes I think the best thing anyone could do for the new series is to take most of its budget away and make the writers work to insane deadlines.
